But
what's
that
aroma...?

Is this an...
old Japanese
garden?

An old-style
home, hedges, a
garden lantern,
a shishi-odoshi
bamboo tube...

No.

The scale
here is
much
smaller.

More of
an inner
courtyard...

Small-
scale,
but pure
nostalgia.

A den
of revived
dreams.
[ Shizuku Kanzaki ]

Back
when I was
an assistant
director, a bottle
from your father
changed my life.

A single
encounter
can ruin a
person's
life...

But it can
also make
it far, far
richer.

That encounter
can be with a
person, a book,
a bottle of
wine...

And a happy
encounter's just
as happy for
the person who
gave it to you.
[ Mr. Kurokawa ]

I think I figured out why this series annoys me so much - its base premise is basically that Shizuku's dad was an astounding jerk who comes across as someone looking to punish his son for not loving the same thing he did.

Well, that and all the descriptions of wine as women.
